God I miss DPaint. I wish there was something as easy and straight forward on the Mac or PC. (Don't even start with that GiMP nonsense.  :-D )

I've met a few programmers and Software Testers who work in games that remember the Amiga. A few have asked for help with A500s they picked up at garage sales because they wanted to check out what they were missing back in the old days. A lot of them are still very surprised what can be done on so little -  and how far ahead my A500 was when they were running PCs of the time.

I played with Brilliance a little at the Amiga selling computer shop in my area where I worked when I was in high school. Didn't have the money then to buy it (I was then saving for my A4000) and just stuck to DPaint 4 AGA. I didn't have anything against Brilliance, just other priorities. I don't think I touched DPaint V more than once or twice. By the time it came out the Amiga buying customers had dwindled to nearly zero and the store changed to straight PC hardware and software soon after.
